Seas – Ocean Calm ran outside

After Matt completely stuffed us with another fantastic meal, we headed out the door… a little late today… however we knew the weather was fair and the ocean really flat today (great weather report at www.sailflow.com – recommended to me by Matt… it’s really a great resource!) so we ran outside for most of the day. Of course we had to get a couple pics of Fort Sumter and the Charleston Light house as we cruised by…

As we approached Hilton Head Island I noticed some really cool looking trees right at the water line so I decided to detour and check it out…

We met a guy named Stone and he told us to look up his friend Bob Druscol when we arrive… lets see what happens!

After we completed our exploration of Hunting Island we pushed on to Scull Creek fuel dock… we bumped into a few cool guys and started asking us a bunch of questions about our trip and we explained accordingly, one of the guys was named Alan and he later said in a post that he would submit us to his local paper. :-)

Thanks guys for thinking our trip was cool… the best part of this adventure is meeting up with fine folks like yourselves… thank you!

On wards to Savannah, leaving Scull Creek we only had about a 30 mile tripe to the mouth of the Savannah River, we made it in great time, however we ran into a pod of dolphins feeding so we stopped and watched them for about a half hour… that was really cool and we have some video to post as soon as we can.

The Savannah river treated us well and we have a flawless run up the river… that was about another 14 miles or so… we where able to dock right at our hotel, we shut down around 6:30PM… nice way to end the day… Savannah is really a neat town… we went out for dinner and called in a night. The ships they pump through that river are amazing!
